I made this coin quilt a couple months ago as a part of the coin quilt piece-along, and I finally finished the quilting and binding! Just wanted to prove that I have been sewing a little bit lately.
I quilted straight lines around each column of coins, and then more lines around the entire piece.
I pieced the back with a larger cut of Bell Bottoms fabric I had in my stash and a couple extra columns of coins for the backing.
I think the back looks cool, but in hindsight, I would have had made the front wider with those extra coins and put a solid green in the middle section.
I still love how this one turned out!

This is really cute! The quilting really looks good with this design. And I like the pieced binding. Feels good to make some progress on something occasionally, doesn’t it?

I can see why you may have wanted it wider (more of a good thing) but I truly love the back! Nicely done.
